Leighton remained oblivious, sensing nothing awry throughout the filming process.

It wasn't until the aired, and the 'relationship' between him and the new actor began trending, that things becclear. During public events, friends teased, "Are you two an item? Your eye contact in the video makes it seem so." Leighton was completely baffled, not comprehending their implications.

They were essentially trying to bleed Leighton dry, using star-making tactics to create another A-lister.

Estelle couldn't afford to offend his superiors and didn't want to keep Leighton in the dark. He was struggling to find the right words when Leighton found out on his own. He didn't even acknowledge Estelle, simply unfollowed the new actor and posted a tweet, showcasing his own scarf with the caption, My mom knitted this."

Couple enthusiasts felt duped and expressed disappointment and om accusations of heartlessness toward him on Twitter, even though he hadn't done anything, inexplicably becoming the villain.

Leighton, resolute, retweeted a post about Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium that, in one inore case om mentioned in the tweet, infected a man who had secretly used utensils previously used by a woman he admired. Underneath the educational tweet, the top-liked comment read, "This bacteria is impressive. It truly knows how to get things moving." X
